    Tamerlan Tsarnaev said this two months ago on a youtube video. Who can translate it?

    "Ti ne Mikaeil bolshe a Misha kakim i bil do Islama. Ti prinyal shiism ne iz za togo chto on tebya ubezhdaet,a iz za svoih strastei, i interesov(o kotorih znaet lish Allah) kotorim ti posledoval. Ti kak vvoshel v Islam tak iz nego i viletel.Ti predal samogo sebya Misha. Ladno davai dosvidaniya. "

    "Our Michael's a bolshie bastard, and our Misha has joined that cack Islam. I bought some pringles and some sherbert to go on the bus upstairs. The view was very nice. I am interested (o god I'm going to sneeze Allah!) in pedestals. This cack thing called Islam talks to negros in villas. The pretzels and sherbet are for Misha. Lads, Dave says goodbye"

    CNN's "live" feed is on a delay so they can filter anything inappropriate or violent i.e. the interesting stuff.

    I am sure Putin will offer to assist the USA in "dealing" with Chechnya

    He's had the assistance of the US since 9/11 since he, along with several other regimes, convinced the US that all uppity Muslims were part of one great AQ conspiracy and hence enemies of the US

    Just proves the old adage that if you repeat a lie long enough it becomes the truth

    Boxer Tsarnev

    http://johanneshirn.photoshelter.com/gallery/Will-Box-For-Passport/G0000VQW7v6xWA7o

    Police have identified Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, as the "black hat" bombing suspect, killed during the manhunt that followed. Readers have pointed out that Johannes Hirn made Tsarnaev the subject of a photo essay, "Will Box for Passport," taken before the boxer competed at National Golden Gloves competition in Salt Lake City. The captions give us a micro-profile of the suspect.

    Tamerlan, who studies at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston and wants to become an engineer, took the semester off from school to train for the competition.
    Tamerlan fled Chechnya with his family because of the conflict in the early 90s, and lived for years in Kazakhstan before getting to the United States as a refugee.
    Originally from Chechnya, but living in the United States since five years, Tamerlan says: "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."
    If he wins enough fights... Tamerlan says he could be selected for the US Olympic team and be naturalized American. Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia.
    Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves."

    If the reports from Russia Today are accurate, and they grew up in Chechyna and Dagestan, I suspect the Internet had little to do with their radicalization. Both of these regions are plagued with ultra-violent Islamic separatist groups, and attract Jihadist volunteers from across the Arabic world.

    That's not entirely true the region is somewhat stable these days. Even attracting tourism Van Dam and other celebs have visited Chechnya. They have a booming fashion industry too. Funnily enough I watched a one hour film on Russia Today and we're talking about how it's changed a lot over the years. There my be a link to the film on the RT Site.

    It's not so raging hot bed of extremism these days. Doesn't mean to say there aren't any cells there cooking things up.

    To me it seems more so these kids had become radicalized and disaffected. Likely when they were in America and aren't linked to any jihadist movements. Otherwise they would have claimed responsibility and made clear their motives.

    These guys seem to be chancers and too a very dangerous gamble which paid off.

    It's only a couple of seconds so it can be cut away from anything before it's broadcast.

    Whose house are they surrounding? I guess the suspect's, but do they think he's inside?

    It could be an innocent Bostonian whose house he got into, it may explain why they're being very cagey about going in.
